It can still be used to check for updates but will not apply them.
For now also remove the update check loop in VS Code since it's
currently unused (update check is hardcoded off right now) and won't
work anyway since it also applies the update which now won't work. In
the future we should integrate the check into the browser update
service.
See #1532 for more context.
- Errored JSON requests will get back the error in JSON instead of using
the status text. This seems better to me because it seems more correct
to utilize the response body over hijacking the status text. The
caller is expecting JSON anyway. Worst of all I never actually set the
status text like I thought I did so it wasn't working to begin with.
- Allow the update error to propagate for JSON update requests. It was
caught to show the error inline instead of an error page when using
the update page but for JSON requests it meant there was no error and
no error code so it looked like it succeeded.
- Make errors for failed requests to GitHub less incomprehensible.
Previously they would just be the code which is no context at all.
The raw value is now passed back to VS Code so it can do the parsing
with its own URI class rather than trying to parse using Node's url
module first since that has no guarantee of working the same way. It
also lets us keep the vscode-remote bit internal to VS Code.
Removed the logic that keeps trying paths until it finds a valid one
because it seems confusing to open a path and silently get some other
path instead of an error for the one you tried to open. Now it'll just
use exactly what you specified or fail trying.
Fixes#1488. The problem here was that url.parse was encoding the spaces
then the validation failed looking for a literal %20.
This will make it work regardless of what the current URL happens to be.
Also move the telemetry setting into the options since we might as well
make use of it seeing as how we have to parse it for the base path
anyway.
By design the disable-telemetry flag does not affect extension
telemetry, only the setting does, so disabling the setting when the flag
is set should cause extensions to also stop sending telemetry.
Fixes#1116.
